Release

In the hushed privacy of nightmy heartbreak at last overflowed bursting forth like a wild river, undammed.

Blindly I searched the sky for the Unseeable, for a reason no God could appease me with, each tear drop a kaleidoscope of stars, every suppressed sob, the lash of anguish.

The universe ran down my cheeksin a thousand shining orbs, each one a filled with the endless space of longing as I silently spilled out a despairthat no starry sky could ever quell, thatno flower would ever soften, nor sunrise consume.
